Quality, standards and benchmarking in teacher education : Whither and Hitherto

Abstract

Generally speaking, quality, standards and benchmarking are three distinct concepts in the language of educational management and organization. However, in respect of teacher education, they are not only closely related but also highly critical in ensuring the manifestation of effective pedagogical programmes and activities in any education system. This paper, which is intended as a keynote address attempts to examine several major issues and dimensions of teacher quality, standards and benchmarking within the conceptual framework of teacher education system, continuous development of professional competence and tendencies of acceptable behavioural practice, both from a global and local perspective. The basic thrust of the presentation is an attempt to argue for the case of continuing process of examining the fundamental bases and rationalization of teacher reform strategies in the context of the changing character of learning in the globalization era...

Thinking skills for secondary school students in Malaysia

Tee Tze Kiong, Md Yunos Jailani, Hassan Razali, Yee Mei Heong, Hussein Atan, Mohamad Mimi Mohaffyza,

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify the level of higher order thinking skills among lower secondary students in Malaysia. A higher order thinking skills test was modified and distributed to 384 students throughout the whole country to assess their higher order thinking skills levels. The results showed that higher order thinking skills levels among the students were at very low level. The findings also revealed that there was a low positive significant relationship between the higher order thinking skills and academic result, r = 0.468, p < 0.05. In addition, the results indicated that there was a significant difference in Living Skills subject results on the higher order thinking skills. The authors proposed a new approach by using a specialised instructional module for individualised learning to deliver the thinking skills learning task...

Tun Abdul Razak Hussein: survival politik Melayu 1963-1976

Saat Ishak,

Abstract

Senario politik Malaysia selepas Tragedi 13 Mei 1969 memperlihatkan sarvival politik Melayu semakin meruncing dan kritikal. Bibit-bibit perbalahan kaum ini bermula sejak sebelum merdeka lagi kerana pembentukan parti-parti politik di Tanah Melayu dibentuk berasaskan kaum. Keterbukaan berpolitik orang Melayu jelas apabila kesediaan kepimpinan politik orang Melayu menerima orang bukan Melayu berpolitik dan menuntut hak mereka di Tanah Melayu. Namun keterbukaan ini semakin hari semakin membimbangkan apabila pelbagai tuntutan bukan Melayu yang mula mempertikaikan peruntukan hak istimewa orang Melayu dan kewajaran Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan di Malaysia. Fenomena ini membuatkan bibit-bibit ketidakpuasan hati mula kedengaran. Sesudah pembentukan Malaysia situasi ini semakin menjadi-jadi kerana kelantangan parti-porti politik bukan Melayu cuba menjuarai dan memenangi hati kaum masing-masing. Kemunculan Tun Abdul Razak Hussein sebagai pengganti Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj berjay.....

Efforts of scholars of interpretation in the movement of literary and linguistic criticism in the third century AH

Hafez, Hussein Lafta

Abstract

The observer of the critical movement in the second century of Hijra notices that until the end of the second century AH, that criticism remained an innate criticism based on taste and emotion with literary influence. This critical effort combined grammar and rhetorical appreciation that was associated with looking at the Qur’anic text, and the evidence needed for that from the words and poems of the Arabs. In addition to that, criticism remained a marginal work for those critics, most of whom were linguists who were preoccupied with narrating poetry and purifying it from the parable, and strange explanations. This study chose a great scholar who Belongs to the Kufic school. This scientist is Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Yahya, nicknamed (the Kufic Fox), one of the linguists and grammar figures in the third century AH. The study deals with the critical efforts of this scholar in the field of literary and linguistic criticism. The al-Kufi fox realized the importance of linguistic and litera.....

Multi-perspectives systematic review on the applications of sentiment analysis for vaccine hesitancy

Abdullah Hussein Abdullah Al-Amoodi

Abstract

A substantial impediment to widespread Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination is vaccine hesitancy. Many researchers across scientific disciplines have presented countless studies in favor of COVID-19 vaccination, but misinformation on social media could hinder vaccination efforts and increase vaccine hesitancy. Nevertheless, studying people's perceptions on social media to understand their sentiment presents a powerful medium for researchers to identify the causes of vaccine hesitancy and therefore develop appropriate public health messages and interventions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, previous studies have presented vaccine hesitancy in specific cases or within one scientific discipline (i.e., social, medical, and technological). No previous study has presented findings via sentiment analysis for multiple scientific disciplines as follows: (1) social, (2) medical, public health, and (3) technology sciences. Therefore, this research aimed to review and analyze articles.....

Based on T-spherical fuzzy environment: a combination of FWZIC and FDOSM for prioritising COVID-19 vaccine dose recipients

Al-Amoodi, Abdullah Hussein Abdullah

Abstract

The problem complexity of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has been raised in the distribution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, which required solid and robust MCDM methods. Compared with other MCDM methods, the fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency (FWZIC) method and fuzzy decision by opinion score method (FDOSM) have demonstrated their solidity in solving different MCDM challenges. However, the fuzzy sets used in these methods have neglected the refusal concept and limited the restrictions on their constants. To end this, considering the advantage of the T-spherical fuzzy sets (T-SFSs) in handling the uncertainty in the data and obtaining information with more degree of freedom, this study has extended FWZIC and FDOSM methods into the T-SFSs environment (called T-SFWZIC and T-SFDOSM) to be used in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. The methodology was formulated on the basis of decision matrix adoption and development phases. The first phase described the adopted.....
